A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP

Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53

Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…

TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star

Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29

Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…
